Definitions
- the present invention relates to hair care compositions and methods for increasing hair diameter.
- hair with a full and/or thick appearance is very desirable, whether it be on the scalp, beard, or moustache regions.
- hair with a thin appearance is not as attractive, and can even lead to a perception that the thin-haired individual is older than their chronological age.
- thin hair can be more difficult to style, and typically cannot be styled into as many hairstyles, leaving the individual frustrated and with an unkempt appearance.
- many thin-haired individuals expend great effort and time on grooming, yet still do not attain their desired hairstyle and appearance. This can lead to frustration and/or lack of confidence in his or her appearance.
- the present invention is directed to a hair care composition
- a hair care composition comprising:
- the present invention is also directed to a method as recited in claim 11 for increasing hair diameter, comprising topically applying the above composition to a region where hair diameter increase is desired.
- the hair care compositions and methods of the present invention provide improved hair diameter increase benefit.
- the hair care compositions and methods of the present invention also provide improved feel during usage and/or after usage, while not-compromising the penetration of the hair diameter increasing agent.
- mixtures is meant to include a simple combination of materials and any compounds that may result from their combination.
- hair diameter increase and “increasing hair diameter” mean increasing diameters of new hairs.
- New hairs herein means, any portions of hairs which are newly generated in hair follicles and appeared over the surface of skin/scalp as a result of hair growth which include, for example, tips of newly growing hairs and roots of existing hairs.
- Hair care compositions of the present invention comprise:
- monohydric alcohol at a level of from 10% to 90%, especially at a level of from 30% to 90%, provides clean usage feel and improved solubilization and penetration of hair diameter increasing agents especially caffeine, niacinamide and pantehnol.
- substantially soluble silicone conditioning agent especially a substantially soluble silicone copolyol conditioning agent, provide conditioning benefits, clean dry feel, while not-compromising the penetration of hair diameter increasing agents.
- thickener provide better usage feel such that the composition does not drop undesirably.
- the thickeners Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer is preferred especially when the composition comprises higher level of alcohols such as ethanol in view of better solubility in such compositions.
- hair care compositions are compositions that are applied to the hair and/or the skin underneath the hair, including compositions used to treat or care for the hair.
- Products contemplated by the phrase “hair care composition” include, but are not limited to liquids, creams, wipes, hair conditioners (rinse-off and leave-on), hair and/or scalp tonics, shampoos, hair colorants, mousses, propellant lotions, emulsions, shave gels, after-shave tonics and lotions, temporary beard hair dyes, and the like.
- leave-on hair care compositions are preferred, in view of providing effectively delivering the benefits of the present invention especially hair diameter increase benefit.
- Such leave-on hair care compositions include, for example, leave-on hair conditioning compositions, hair and/or scalp tonics, and hair styling compositions.
- Such leave-on hair care compositions can have a pH of, for example, from 3 to 7.5, preferably from 3.5 to 7, more preferably from 4 to 7.
- the composition is in a non-emulsion form. It is believed that, the hair diameter increasing agent of the present invention provide improved performance to scalp, skin and/or hair follicles, when it is contained in a non-emulsion composition rather than in an emulsion composition.
- compositions of the present invention are substantially free of substantially insoluble oily compounds. It is believed that lower levels of such substantially insoluble oily components provide at least one of the following:
- the compositions being "substantially free” of substantially insoluble oily compound means that the composition includes 1.0% or less, preferably 0.5% or less, more preferably 0.1% or less, still more preferably 0.05% or less, even more preferably 0% by weight of substantially insoluble oily compounds.
- substantially insoluble ingredients what is meant in the present invention is that: the ingredient is substantially insoluble in the compositions at the level used; and, when containing the ingredient at the level used, the composition has a transmittance of below 25%, preferably below 35%, more preferably below 50%, still more preferably below 60%, even more preferably below 70%, and further more preferably below 80% at 25°C.
- substantially insoluble oily compounds are typically those selected from hydrocarbons, fatty compounds, and mixtures thereof.
- hydrocarbons include, for example, poly ⁇ -olefin oils, paraffins, waxes, and mixtures thereof.
- fatty compounds include, for example, fatty alcohols such as cetyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol, fatty acids such as stearic acid, fatty alcohol derivatives and fatty acid derivatives such as esters and ethers thereof, and mixtures thereof.
- the composition of the present invention comprises a hair diameter increasing agent.
- a safe and effective amount of the hair diameter increasing agent can be included in the composition.
- safe and effective amount means an amount of a compound or composition sufficient to increase the diameter of the hair in the subject region of hair, when used for a result-effective period of time, but low enough to avoid serious side effects, i.e., to provide a reasonable benefit to risk ratio, within the scope of sound judgment of the skilled artisan.
- the hair diameter increasing agent can be included in the composition at a level by weight of the composition of, from 0.1%, preferably from 0.3%, more preferably from 0.5%, and to 20%, preferably to 15%, more preferably to 10%, in view of usage feel and hair diameter increasing effect.
- Hair diameter increasing agents useful herein are those being substantially soluble in the composition, in order to provide hair diameter increasing benefit by penetrating into scalp, skin and/or hair follicles.
- substantially soluble ingredients what is meant in the present invention is that: the ingredient is substantially soluble in the compositions at the level used; and, when containing the ingredient at the level used, the composition has a transmittance of 25% or more, preferably 35% or more, more preferably 50% or more, still more preferably 60% or more, even more preferably 70% or more, and further more preferably 80% or more, at 25°C.
- the hair diameter increasing agent of the present invention comprises a xanthine compound, a vitamin B3 compound, and a panthenol compound.

Description
- The present invention relates to hair care compositions and methods for increasing hair diameter.
- Many attributes contribute to the appearance of hair considered to be attractive. For instance, hair with a full and/or thick appearance is very desirable, whether it be on the scalp, beard, or moustache regions. In contrast, hair with a thin appearance is not as attractive, and can even lead to a perception that the thin-haired individual is older than their chronological age. Furthermore, thin hair can be more difficult to style, and typically cannot be styled into as many hairstyles, leaving the individual frustrated and with an unkempt appearance. Because of the foregoing problems associated with thin hair, many thin-haired individuals expend great effort and time on grooming, yet still do not attain their desired hairstyle and appearance. This can lead to frustration and/or lack of confidence in his or her appearance. These problems can be experienced by both female and male consumers.
- Accordingly, there is a need to provide consumers with a way to increase the fullness and/or thickness of hair appearance, thus resulting in younger-looking, more attractive hair appearance.
- There exists a variety of products which attempt to meet the above need by, for example, increasing hair diameter. However, there still exists a need for such products providing improved hair diameter increasing benefit by improved penetration of hair diameter increasing actives. There also exists a need for such products providing improved feel during usage and/or after usage. However, it is still difficult to obtain such improved feel during usage and/or after usage, while not-compromising the penetration of the hair diameter increasing agent.
- Based on the foregoing, there remains a need for hair care compositions which provide improved hair diameter increase benefit. There also remains a need for such hair care compositions which provide improved feel during usage and/or after usage, while not-compromising the penetration of the hair diameter increasing agent.
- None of the existing art provides all of the advantages and benefits of the present invention.
- The present invention is directed to a hair care composition comprising:
- A hair care composition comprising:
- (i) a hair diameter increasing agent comprising a xanthine compound, a vitamin B3 compound, and a panthenol compound; and
- (ii) an carrier comprising water and monohydric alcohols having 1 to 6 carbons;
wherein said xanthine compound includes caffeine xanthine, 1-methyl xanthine, theophylline, theobromine, and mixtures thereof;
wherein said vitamin B3 compound includes niacinamide and salts thereof, nicotinic acid and salts thereof, nicotinyl alcohol and salts thereof, nicotinic acid esters, nicotinyl amino acids, nicotinyl alcohol esters of carboxylic acids, nicotinic acid N-oxide, niacinamide N-oxide, or mixtures thereof;
wherein said panthenol compound includes D-panthenol, DL-panthenol, panthenyl triacetate, panthetine, pantotheine, panthenyl ethyl ether, pantoyl lactose, ethyl panthenol, or mixtures thereof;
wherein the composition further comprises a thickener being a non-cellulose based amphiphilic polymer;
wherein the composition further comprises a substantially soluble silicone conditioning agent being a substantially soluble silicone copolyol conditioning agent;
wherein the composition includes 0.1% or less by weight of substantially insoluble oily compounds. - The present invention is also directed to a method as recited in claim 11 for increasing hair diameter, comprising topically applying the above composition to a region where hair diameter increase is desired.
- The hair care compositions and methods of the present invention provide improved hair diameter increase benefit. The hair care compositions and methods of the present invention also provide improved feel during usage and/or after usage, while not-compromising the penetration of the hair diameter increasing agent.
- These and other features, aspects, and advantages of the present invention will become better understood from a reading of the following description, and appended claims.
- While the specification concludes with the claims particularly pointing and distinctly claiming the invention, it is believed that the present invention will be better understood from the following description.
- All percentages, parts and ratios are based upon the total weight of the hair care compositions of the present invention and all measurements made are at 25°C, unless otherwise specified. All such weights as they pertain to listed ingredients are based on the active level and, therefore, do not include carriers or by-products that may be included in commercially available materials, unless otherwise specified.
- Herein, "comprising" means that other steps and other ingredients which do not affect the end result can be added. This term encompasses the terms "consisting of" and "consisting essentially of".
- Herein, "mixtures" is meant to include a simple combination of materials and any compounds that may result from their combination.
- Herein, "hair diameter increase" and "increasing hair diameter" mean increasing diameters of new hairs. New hairs herein means, any portions of hairs which are newly generated in hair follicles and appeared over the surface of skin/scalp as a result of hair growth which include, for example, tips of newly growing hairs and roots of existing hairs.
- All measurements are understood to be made at 25°C and at ambient conditions, where "ambient conditions" means conditions under one atmosphere of pressure and at 50% relative humidity.
- Hair care compositions of the present invention comprise:
- (i) a hair diameter increasing agent comprising a xanthine compound, a vitamin B3 compound, and a panthenol compound; and
- (ii) an carrier comprising water and monohydric alcohols having 1 to 6 carbons;
- It is believed that the use of monohydric alcohol at a level of from 10% to 90%, especially at a level of from 30% to 90%, provides clean usage feel and improved solubilization and penetration of hair diameter increasing agents especially caffeine, niacinamide and pantehnol.
- It is also believed that the use of substantially soluble silicone conditioning agent, especially a substantially soluble silicone copolyol conditioning agent, provide conditioning benefits, clean dry feel, while not-compromising the penetration of hair diameter increasing agents.
- It is further believed that the use of thickener provide better usage feel such that the composition does not drop undesirably. Among the thickeners, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer is preferred especially when the composition comprises higher level of alcohols such as ethanol in view of better solubility in such compositions.
- As used herein, the term "hair care compositions" are compositions that are applied to the hair and/or the skin underneath the hair, including compositions used to treat or care for the hair. Products contemplated by the phrase "hair care composition" include, but are not limited to liquids, creams, wipes, hair conditioners (rinse-off and leave-on), hair and/or scalp tonics, shampoos, hair colorants, mousses, propellant lotions, emulsions, shave gels, after-shave tonics and lotions, temporary beard hair dyes, and the like. Among the above hair care compositions, leave-on hair care compositions are preferred, in view of providing effectively delivering the benefits of the present invention especially hair diameter increase benefit. Such leave-on hair care compositions include, for example, leave-on hair conditioning compositions, hair and/or scalp tonics, and hair styling compositions. Such leave-on hair care compositions can have a pH of, for example, from 3 to 7.5, preferably from 3.5 to 7, more preferably from 4 to 7.
- In the present invention, it may be preferred that the composition is in a non-emulsion form. It is believed that, the hair diameter increasing agent of the present invention provide improved performance to scalp, skin and/or hair follicles, when it is contained in a non-emulsion composition rather than in an emulsion composition.
- Preferably, the compositions of the present invention are substantially free of substantially insoluble oily compounds. It is believed that lower levels of such substantially insoluble oily components provide at least one of the following:
- improved penetration of hair diameter increasing agents to scalp, skin, and/or hair follicles;
- improved solid particulate formation of the deposition agent, especially when the deposition agents are those being soluble in the composition and forming solid particulate on the hair; and
- improved usage feel such as improved clean feel, especially when the composition is for leave-on use.
- In the present invention, the compositions being "substantially free" of substantially insoluble oily compound means that the composition includes 1.0% or less, preferably 0.5% or less, more preferably 0.1% or less, still more preferably 0.05% or less, even more preferably 0% by weight of substantially insoluble oily compounds. By "substantially insoluble" ingredients, what is meant in the present invention is that: the ingredient is substantially insoluble in the compositions at the level used; and, when containing the ingredient at the level used, the composition has a transmittance of below 25%, preferably below 35%, more preferably below 50%, still more preferably below 60%, even more preferably below 70%, and further more preferably below 80% at 25°C. The transmittances are measured at 600nm using UV-1601 which is a UV-visible spectrophotometer available from Shimadzu. Such "substantially insoluble" oily compounds are typically those selected from hydrocarbons, fatty compounds, and mixtures thereof. Such hydrocarbons include, for example, poly α-olefin oils, paraffins, waxes, and mixtures thereof. Such fatty compounds include, for example, fatty alcohols such as cetyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol, fatty acids such as stearic acid, fatty alcohol derivatives and fatty acid derivatives such as esters and ethers thereof, and mixtures thereof.

The term "safe and effective amount," as used herein, means an amount of a compound or composition sufficient to increase the diameter of the hair in the subject region of hair, when used for a result-effective period of time, but low enough to avoid serious side effects, i.e., to provide a reasonable benefit to risk ratio, within the scope of sound judgment of the skilled artisan. For example, the hair diameter increasing agent can be included in the composition at a level by weight of the composition of, from 0.1%, preferably from 0.3%, more preferably from 0.5%, and to 20%, preferably to 15%, more preferably to 10%, in view of usage feel and hair diameter increasing effect.
- Hair diameter increasing agents useful herein are those being substantially soluble in the composition, in order to provide hair diameter increasing benefit by penetrating into scalp, skin and/or hair follicles. By "substantially soluble" ingredients, what is meant in the present invention is that: the ingredient is substantially soluble in the compositions at the level used; and, when containing the ingredient at the level used, the composition has a transmittance of 25% or more, preferably 35% or more, more preferably 50% or more, still more preferably 60% or more, even more preferably 70% or more, and further more preferably 80% or more, at 25°C.
- The hair diameter increasing agent of the present invention comprises a xanthine compound, a vitamin B3 compound, and a panthenol compound. Preferably, the hair diameter increasing agent comprises caffeine, niacinamide, and panthenol. The use of the three compounds as a mixture, compared to the use of each compound, provide improved hair diameter increasing benefit.
- As used herein, "xanthine compound" means one or more xanthines, derivatives thereof, and mixtures thereof. Xanthine Compounds of the hair care composition include caffeine, xanthine, 1-methyl xanthine, theophylline, theobromine, and mixtures thereof. Among these compounds, caffeine is preferred in view of its solubility in the composition and hair diameter increasing effect. The composition can contain from 0.1%, preferably from 0.2%, more preferably from 0.3%, still more preferably from 0.4%, and to 10%, preferably to 5%, more preferably to 2% by weight of a xanthine compound by weight of the composition, in view of usage feel and hair diameter increasing effect.
-
- Derivatives of the foregoing vitamin B3 compounds include nicotinic acid esters, including non-vasodilating esters of nicotinic acid (e.g, tocopherol nicotinate, and myristyl nicotinate), nicotinyl amino acids, nicotinyl alcohol esters of carboxylic acids, nicotinic acid N-oxide and niacinamide N-oxide.
- One or more vitamin B3 compounds may be used herein. Preferred vitamin B3 compounds are niacinamide and tocopherol nicotinate. Niacinamide is more preferred, in view of usage feel, its solubility in the composition, and hair diameter increasing effect. It is believed that, niacinamide can stay on scalp, pore and hair, where cells contribute to hair diameter increase exist, for a longer period of time and thus can provide pro-longed benefit, while other vitamine B3 products such as nicotinates may penetrate fast into scalp, and thus may move away from such cells. It is also believed that, niacinamide can be stable in the composition and when applied for a longer period of time, while other vitamine B3 products such as nicotinic acid esters may be decomposed to nicotinic acids, and thus may cause skin flushing and itchiness. Such nicotinic acid esters include, for example, ethyl nicotinate, octyl nicotinate, myristyl nicotinate, and cetyl nicotinate. When used, salts, derivatives, and salt derivatives of niacinamide are preferably those having substantially the same efficacy as niacinamide.
- In a preferred embodiment, the ring nitrogen of the vitamin B3 compound is substantially chemically free (e.g., unbound and/or unhindered), or after delivery to the skin becomes substantially chemically free ("chemically free" is hereinafter alternatively referred to as "uncomplexed"). More preferably, the vitamin B3 compound is essentially uncomplexed. Therefore, if the composition contains the vitamin B3 compound in a salt or otherwise complexed form, such complex is preferably substantially reversible, more preferably essentially reversible, upon delivery of the composition to the skin. For example, such complex should be substantially reversible at a pH of from 5.0 to 6.0. Such reversibility can be readily determined by one having ordinary skill in the art.
- More preferably the vitamin B3 compound is substantially uncomplexed in the composition prior to delivery to the keratinous tissue. Exemplary approaches to minimizing or preventing the formation of undesirable complexes include omission of materials which form substantially irreversible or other complexes with the vitamin B3 compound, pH adjustment, ionic strength adjustment, the use of surfactants, and formulating wherein the vitamin B3 compound and materials which complex therewith are in different phases. Such approaches are well within the level of ordinary skill in the art.
- Thus, in a preferred embodiment, the vitamin B3 compound contains a limited amount of the salt form and is more preferably substantially free of salts of a vitamin B3 compound. Preferably the vitamin B3 compound contains less than 50% of such salt, and is more preferably essentially free of the salt form. The vitamin B3 compound in the compositions hereof having a pH of from 4 to 7 typically contain less than 50% of the salt form.
- The composition can contain from 0.1%, preferably from 0.3%, more preferably from 0.5%, still more preferably from 1%, and to 25%, preferably to 15%, more preferably to 7.5% by weight of a vitamin B3 compound by weight of the composition, in view of usage feel and hair diameter increasing effect.

Generally, the viscosity of the personal care composition decreases according to the increase of shear stress. At a lower shear stress, the viscosity of the composition does not change and this is called "First Newtonian Plateau". In the shear stress range higher than a yield point, the viscosity of the composition decreases. The zero shear viscosity is the average of the viscosity measured in the first Newtonian plateau. The zero shear viscosity is measured at 25°C by shear stress ramp mode using AR2000 available from TA Instruments.
- Preferred thickeners herein are, for example, non-cellulose based amphiphilic polymers which comprise at least one fatty chain and non-cellulose based hydrophilic moieties, and which are preferably crosslinked.

When the composition comprises higher level of alcohols such as ethanol, such substantially insoluble thickeners may be cellulose based thickeners such as cellulose and modified celluloses, and gum thickeners such as xanthan gum and guar gum. In the present invention, the compositions being "substantially free" of substantially insoluble thickeners means that the composition includes 0.5% or less, preferably 0.1% or less, more preferably 0.05% or less, still more preferably 0.03% or less, even more preferably 0% by weight of substantially insoluble thickeners.
- In the present invention, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer is preferred especially when the composition comprises higher level of alcohols such as ethanol, in view of better solubility in such compositions compared to other anionic/nonionic thickeners such as carbomer and cellulose polymers. Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer is also preferred in view of hair feel when dried, compared to cationic/nonionic thickening polymers. Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer can be used together with any neutralizer such as triethanolamine.
- Such thickeners can be included in the composition, at a level by weight of the composition of from 0.01%, preferably from 0.05%, and to 5%, preferably to 3%, more preferably to 1%, in view of thickening effect, feel during and/or after usage, and/or solubility in the composition.

It is believed that, compared to other soluble conditioning compounds such as fatty esters and fatty ethers, substantially silicone conditioning agents especially substantially soluble silicone copolyol conditioning agents can provide conditioning benefits while providing better clean dry feel and not-compromising the penetration of hair diameter increasing agent.
- Among such silicone copolyol conditioning agents, preferred are nonionic silicone copolyol conditioning agents, especially when thickener is an anionic polymer such as Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, in view of compatibility with such thickeners. Such nonionic silicone copolyol conditioning agents are those being substantially free of cationic, amido and amino substitutions. What meant by being "substantially free of cationic, amido and amino substitutions" is that the silicone compounds contains 1% or less, preferably 0.5% or less, more preferably 0% by weight of such substitutions.
- Such silicone copolyols useful herein include, for example, dimethicone copolyols dimethicone backbone and polyoxyalkylene substitutions such as polyethylene oxide or/and polypropylene oxide substitutions which are grafted to the middle and/or the ends of the dimethicone backbone.

In one aspect, the method comprises topically applying the composition of the present invention, to a region where hair diameter increase is desired. For instance, the hair care composition can be applied to the scalp and/or face (e.g., beard or moustache area). The region of hair can be located on any part of the body. For instance, it can grow from a skin surface located on at least a portion of the scalp or the face.
- It is preferred that an effective amount of a composition of the present invention is topically applied to the desired region at effective frequency over a result-effective period of time.
- The term "effective amount," as used herein, means an amount of a compound or composition sufficient to increase the diameter of the hair in the subject region of hair. It depends on the product form and concentration of the hair diameter increasing agent. For example, the composition can be applied at an amount of from 0.1ml to 10ml to the subject regions.
- The term "effective frequency" as used herein means a frequency to apply the composition sufficient to increase the diameter of the hair in the subject region of hair. It depends on the product form and concentration of the hair diameter increasing agent. For example, the composition can be applied at least once a few week, more preferably at least once a week, more preferably at least once a day, and up to three times a day.
- The term "result-effective period of time," as used herein, means a period of time sufficient to increase the diameter of the hair in the subject region of hair. It depends on the product form and concentration of the hair diameter increasing agent. For example, the composition can be applied for at least a week, more preferably at least two weeks, still more preferably at least four weeks.
- In still another embodiment, the method comprises applying the composition according to a regimen, wherein said regimen comprises:
- (a) cleansing the scalp and/or face to form a cleansed scalp and/or face;
- (b) topically applying the composition to said cleansed scalp and/or cleansed face.
- The following examples further describe and demonstrate embodiments within the scope of the present invention. The examples are given solely for the purpose of illustration and are not to be construed as limitations of the present invention, as many variations thereof are possible without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Where applicable, ingredients are identified by chemical or CTFA name, or otherwise defined below.
- A composition comprising a mixture of Caffeine, Niacinamide and Panthenol demonstrated a clinically significant increase in hair width versus a placebo. In this study, a scalp tonic containing 5% Niacinamide, 1.5% Caffeine, and 0.3% D-Panthenol in a water/alcohol matrix (25% ethanol, q.s. water) was evaluated. This formula also included 0.3% hydroxypropylmethylcellulose as a thickening agent. In this split-head study, 1.5 ml of the tonic was applied to one side of the head two times per day, and 1.5ml of the placebo was applied to the other side of the head two times daily.
- This was a 14 week, double blinded, randomized, split-head and controlled clinical study in women ages 18-65 (inclusive) who perceived themselves as having thinning hair. This study consisted of a 2 week pre-treatment phase (use of placebo on both sides of the head to learn proper product application methods prior to the actual treatment phase) followed by a 12 week treatment phase.
- Upon arriving at the test site, subjects were acclimated in an environmentally controlled room (70°F ± 2 and 30-45% relative humidity) for 30 minutes prior to having their scalp evaluated by a qualified skin grader to assess skin health. After subjects had their scalp assessed by a qualified skin grader, a licensed cosmetologist identified two scalp sites for clipping (areas of approximately 1.8 cm x 1.8 cm), one on the top left lateral scalp, approximately 4-5" back into the hairline and the other was symmetrically placed on the top right lateral scalp. A template was used to mark the 4 corners and a notch slightly below center of each treatment site. The clipped sites were approximately 2" lateral to either of their respective sides from the midline of the head/scalp. The licensed cosmetologist then cut the hair within each of the scalp clipping sites with a small battery operated hair clipper to 1mm in length. After the sites were prepared, a trained clinical assistant placed a small, permanent dot tattoo approximately 1 mm above the marked notch (located slightly below center of the treatment site) on each treatment site to provide a reference for identification of these sites for digital imaging that was performed at designated study time points.
- For Baseline, Week 4, 8, and 12, the clipped scalp sites were identified using the template and marking the 4 corners of the template with a Sharpie® marker or equivalent. The licensed cosmetologist then evenly clipped the short hairs within the 2 clipped sites to 1 mm as previously conducted. Following hair clipping, a technician captured a baseline image of each clipped scalp site using a Hi-Scope® digitized imaging system. The tattoo that was placed within each lower treatment site was used as a reference point to position the image for capture and storage. This baseline image was used when blending post-treatment images during the study. The next day, approximately 24 hours following the hair clipping visit, a technician captured an image of each lower scalp clipping site using a Hi-Scope® digitized imaging system. The tattoo that was placed within each lower treatment site was used as a reference point to position the image for capture and storage after aligning the hair follicle openings with the image captured at Baseline, Day 1. This procedure was used for Week 4, 8 and 12.
- A significant increase in hair diameter was observed for the hair tonic treated hair vs. the placebo-treated hair in the human clinical test. The Change from Baseline Adjusted Mean for the tonic-treated hair (0.663µm) is larger than that of the placebo-treated (0.165µm). As this is a split-head design, subject variation was greatly minimized. Additionally, since the exact same hairs were imaged throughout the study, variations in width due to measuring different hairs through the study were greatly minimized.
Example 1: Clinical Study - Comparison of treatment effect N Treatment Grouping Change from Baseline Adjusted Mean (µm) 40 Placebo (Tonic Vehicle) A 0.165 40 Tonic Product B 0.663 - An image analysis algorithm was used to measure the hair diameter from the digital micrographs. The algorithm automatically carried out several steps to isolate and characterize hairs in each digital image. First, the algorithm performed a local background leveling function and enhancement of the red component in the color image. Automatic thresholding of the color image was performed to obtain a binary image (black and white) of the hairs on the background. The algorithm then identified hairs as continuous black lines and broke the lines into individual hairs at branch points and points of high curvature. Next, the algorithm eliminated very short objects and retained the remaining objects as 'hairs'. In the final step, the algorithm measured and recorded position and diameter (width) of each detected hair.
- The hair system image acquisition and analysis methods used herein were the methods published by Berger, R.S. et al., in 2003 in "The effects of minoxidil, 1% pyrithione zinc and a combination of both on hair density: a randomized controlled trial. British Journal of Dermatology, 149, 354-362," with the exception that for the study of this example, different treatments, scalp imaging sites, and timepoints were used.
- A mixture of Caffeine, Niacinamide and Panthenol demonstrated a surprising increase in the survival of metabolically stressed dermal papilla cells, versus individual components and versus mixtures of two of them, as shown below. The dermal papilla, in normal human hair, is the control center for hair diameter. Increasing survival of dermal papilla cells in situ leads to increased hair diameter. Accordingly, an increase in survival of dermal papilla cells correlates with an increase in hair diameter.
- Primary human dermal papilla cells were metabolically stressed for 48 hours in reduced standard tissue culture media. During this period of stress the cells were treated with the mixtures or individual ingredients below. After 48 hr the metabolic activity of the cells was measured by the amount of ATP using the Cell Titer Glo™ kit (Promega).
